Well my stock header is cracked. I need to find a new lx header with two o2 senors. So far from my searching, I only found out a RActive header with two o2 sensors. Is there anywhere else that i can find a header with 2 o2 senors? Greddy and other companies only makes Ex headers with one o2 sensor. Help? It is for a 98 civic lx.

The reason you only see 1 o2 sensor is because on the EX the second O2 goes behind the cat in the B-pipe.

I had this same problem. I have a 1998 Honda Civic LX. Your best bet is to find a used one off someone here in Honda-Tech. My header cracked at around 65,000 miles. I purchased a used one off here for $80 and I had it put in for $40. No problems since then. Going aftermarket will cost you like three times as much. Most of the aftermarket headers are made for the EX, HX, and Si. You can not use these headers unless you remove your cat. This is illegal of course, so this is not a very good option. If you want to fix it for cheap...just get a used one and have someone put it in for you. You'll need to get two new exhaust gaskets, one for the down pipe and one for the exhaust manifold. Hope that helps.

Thanks, anyone else?

i thought there was only 1 o2 sensor on the header and 1 on the cat (making it 2 total)
im sure all you need is a regular header with 1 o2 sensor in it because the other should go on your cat.

I have an Lx which has both sensor on the header. The header you are taking about are for hx,ex, and si. I do not have a sensor opening on my cat. thanks.
